This Lemon Mug Cake could not get any easier to make. Simply combine all of the ingredients in a mug, stir until well mixed and then microwave for 90 seconds to 2 minutes and voila, you have a moist cake in a mug. There is lots of zesty lemon flavour that keeps this dessert light…

Stuffing is my favourite part of a turkey dinner and a dish that I have been really missing since going grain free. I’ve experimented with a few different stuffing recipes using almond flour bread and determined that the effort required to bake the bread and then make the stuffing, was not worth the end result….

There are so many things to love about this salad. It is packed with delicious Mexican flavours including cumin, spicy jalapenos, lime, cilantro and garlic that coat the roasted vegetables and tender slices of chicken.
